One of the things that you see at Disney are kids who are too old normally for strollers being wheeled around in those things. (Ditto people normally too young for wheelchairs). Do you think that the five year old can walk around all day, without starting to whine? If not, you can rent a stroller.
Maybe one day you can stash the kids with grandpa, and take yourself to Epcot. Now THAT'S a place I can go to again and again. And whenever you go to Disney, don't forget the camera. The place is a photo lover's heaven!
I missed this. Yes, the 5 year old walked the whole time with the exception of one or two shoulder rides on dad. I am so glad we didn't take them when they were any younger as I can't imagine the added stress of having to push a stroller around and find stroller parking and diaper bags and changing and nap time and all of that. There were quite a few people with much smaller children and I was very glad that I was not them. The only thing I worried about was the kids getting separated from us. I did once give a man a good push when he crossed in between me and my daughter and then stood there, keeping me from reaching her (I was blocked on the other two sides). But mostly they were extremely good about staying with us and watching to make sure they didn't get separated from us.
I think if we ever go back we will make plans to go to Epcot and Universal, which I've been to as a young adult and enjoyed. That was a good suggestion.
